Graser and Stacy sat at a table in the village's restaurant. Graser took a sip of his water. "Ok so, explain to me what happened." Stacy closed her eyes, thinking back on the night her statue was stolen, "I was in the wolf den with my wolf Wink, when there was an explosion. I looked on the cameras and saw that someone had stolen my Emerald Wolf Statue. They got away, but Wink chased after them." She opened her eyes.

     Graser was staring at her. "What?!" Stacy snapped. He blinked, "Sorry. It's just, you lost your most prized treasure and your pet in the same night. That's rough." Stacy smiled. "That's why I need your help," She said. Graser leaned back in his chair, "Right. Now, how am I supposed to help? Why can't you ask Lizzie or Yammy?"

      "Lizzie is taking a break from adventuring after she almost got killed by a guardian, Yammy said she was too busy raiding dungeons, plus you're the closest to my house. Also..." Stacy pulled out a ripped piece of fabric. Graser immediately grabbed the fabric, examining every bit of it.

      "Your recognize it?" Stacy asked. He ran his finger along the loose strings, then looking up at Stacy, he said in amazement, "This is obsidian fabric." Stacy almost dropped her water cup. "What? But, that's only found deep in a Nether fortress!" She exclaimed. Graser shook his head, "I'm just surprised it ripped off."

      "My wolves have strong jaws," Stacy said, ignoring the fact that Graser was glaring at her, "Anyways, no one has been to the Nether yet...have they?" Graser thought for a moment, "There is only one person I can think of. Joey." Stacy narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I think we both know what we have to do..."


Joey swept the floor of his shop. He was closing up for the evening and was about to clean the counter. There was a tap on the window. Joey turned his head to the window and narrowed his eyes. There was a loud slam behind him.

The door to the back room swung open so suddenly, Joey almost dropped his spray bottle. He nervously walked over to the door, "Umm...someone there? There was a whisper coming from inside. "Joey...." Joey gulped, "Hey. If this is a prank, it's not funny!" He tried his best to sound brave, but it didn't work. "Joey...behind you...." Joey felt a something loom over him. The thing whispered something to him, "You can't escape the consequences." Joey  turned around with a scream.

Instead of finding an evil creature, he found a Stacy, trying her best not to laugh. Joey glared at her. "That wasn't funny Stacy," he said through gritted teeth. "Oh please, it's was hilarious," she said. Joey took a deep breath, "Ok, why are you here? You never come into my store unless something is wrong. So..uh...is there something wrong?"

"Yea, Stacy's Wolf Statue was stolen." Joey turned around. Graser had come out of the closet, and had now propped himself on the wall. Joey narrowed his eyes, "You think I took it? Look, I may steal the occasional horse or take a few extra free samples, but I would never steal from Stacy!" Graser raised an eyebrow, "Oh really? Then explain this!" He pulled out a shiny piece of torn fabric and gave it to Joey, "Obsidian Fabric. Only found in a Nether Fortress." Joey turned the fabric over in his hand, and looked back up at Graser.

"So you think I stole the Wolf Statue because this came from the Nether, and I'm the only one who has been to the Nether?" he asked in an annoyed voice. Stacy stepped in front of him. "Well it would certainly a lot of sense. You've been to the Nether, you know how to break into houses, and Wink hates you," She crossed her arms. Joey looked at her, confused, "Wink? Like your wolf?" Stacy nodded, "Oh yea, did I forget to mention that Wink is now missing as well?"

Joey backed up a little. "I'm not...I would never.." He cleared his throat, "Listen. I was raiding a dungeon with Yammy that night. Not to mention, I don't even have an Obsidian Cloak." Stacy sighed and turned to Graser, "Now what?" Graser thought for a moment, "Hmm...who has a lot of treasure, knows how to handle explosions, and holds a grudge against you?"

"You know, I heard Scott got a new trinket, and you how he loves to steal treasure!" Joey said. Stacy's eyes lit up, "Your right! Let's go Graser," She grabbed his hand and ran out of the store, "Bye Joey!" she called from the distance. Joey waved good bye and let out a long sigh. He continued cleaning up the store when he noticed a note on the counter. "Careful Joey, remember the deal. Signed, TheNightSeeker"
